For £7.50 you can get 500 mins with 5000 text or a tenner with data.
Also is your mobile locked to Tesco or is it unlocked?”
Yeah Tesco is good for monthly tariffs, but i don't use it as much to go through all those minutes and texts. Will just put a tenner in it and that should do me a few months on a cheapo network for the little amount of time i use it.

Ah i remember not long after i got it, i went online and it ate up the remainder of my credit in no time, over 5 quid and getting a message "You've maxed out your data for today, but you can browse free for the rest of the day!" Enraged i was i then discovered the hidden pull down menu and the GPS was on... didn't realise i had to set it to Wi-Fi, doh!
But yes, the updates going on in the background does explain the missing credit prior to the GPS discovery, should've known!

For straight up pay as you go Threes rates look about as cheap as you can get.
Getting yr phone unlocked will cost around a tenner from a market stall.”
Have done so, learned from my mistakes there lol.
Only around a tenner? Nice one. Fearing it would cost as much as the phone did!
Will go with Three then after i find someone to unlock it. Cheers everyone
